@nocto@social.lol If you want to try old children's mystery books, I would strongly recommend "The Three Investigators" series—particularly the first dozen books or so. They were written by Robert Arthur, who was an outstanding mystery writer. Try to find the editions featuring Alfred Hitchcock as the presenter, preferably with illustrations by Harry Kane. Those are the originals. A number of books for young readers were also edited by Robert Arthur under Alfred Hitchcock's name. Books such as "Mysteries And More Mysteries", "Ghosts And More Ghosts", and "Alfred Hitchcock's Solve-Them-Yourself Mysteries" are all wonderful and well worth seeking out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Investigators?wprov=sfla1
